Hi,
I'm just thinking to upgrade my iPhone with a newer one, iPhone 7 or iPhone 8.
I checked the technical specifications and I discovered that yes, iPhone 8 has a more powerful CPU than iPhone 7, but iPhone 7's GPU beats iPhone 8's GPU. Am I correct? Which one should I buy by comparing all the features of the two devices?
Thank you so much for your help,
R.
What are you optimizing for? Price? CPU? GPU?
And both are system-on-a-chip configurations; there’s no separate CPU and GPU.
Pragmatically, A11 wins over A10.
Apple claimed a 30% graphics performance increase with A11 over previous, too.

Comparing core counts, cache sizes, clock frequencies? Not good metrics within the same architecture, much less across disparate designs. Leave those sorts of comparisons to the marketing folks and to the unwary.

Thanks for the answers; actually, I saw that iPhone 7 has the 6-core graphics “PowerVR Series7XT Plus”, instead iPhone 8 has the 3-core graphics Apple Chip... I bet iPhone 7’s graphics are better than the iPhone 8’s.
You would lose then.
8 is better than 7 on every performance level -just assume it..
7 wins over 8 on price and it has an all metal body which is why I bought an iphone 7 in March.
Edit: as already said you will have to go to approved resellers or cellular providers to get those old phones but NOT amazon or similar as you can easily get a seller refurb
Neither are sold anymore.
It doesn’t matter where I’ll buy them from, I’d only need an opinion regarding the choice according to the performance of the two devices.
iPhone 7 vs iPhone 8 in fact of CPU and GPU
